In 2018, are we still talking about the safety supervision agency documents from 2014? The reason is simple: the three deadlines set out in Document No. 116 are approaching rapidly. Furthermore, the management of safety instrument systems will in the future be linked to the \"Work Safety License.\" For old installations and new projects that do not have safety instrumented systems in place or for which SIL classification and verification have not been carried out, new \"Work Safety Licenses\" will no longer be issued, which will further strengthen the management and requirements regarding work safety for enterprises. For newly installed units: January 1, 2018 & January 1, 2020. For existing units: end of 2019. Who is the target group for Document No. 116? The term “two key points and one major issue” that is often mentioned – what exactly is its scope? “\"Two key areas and one major aspect\" refer to hazardous chemicals under key supervision, hazardous chemical processes under key supervision, and major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals. Sulfur-based acid production is part of this honor!
Not all hazardous processes require analysis first; subsequent actions can be taken based on the results. It is advisable to carefully review the contents of Document No. 116. If the company lacks the necessary capabilities, it can turn to a safety certification firm for assistance.
Has your company hired outsiders or conducted such analysis and certification on its own?
